ATDDC4 Series Installation & User’s Guide
Introduction
The AirTime ATDDC4 Wireless Digital Display Wall Clock is designed
with a 4-inch red LED display that can be viewed from distances over
100 feet. The optional 6 digit version provides 2 additional 2-inch
digits. The bright red display shows the hour and minutes or as an
option the hour, minutes and seconds; can be configured for a 12 or 24
Hour format; and keep time synchronized to a Lathem ATX series
transceiver’s wireless correction signal. The ATDDC4 series Wall Clocks
can be mounted directly to a wall, to a single gang outlet box or, with
optional mounting kits, as double-faced units from the wall or ceiling.
Clock Operation
When the ATDDC4 series Wall Clock is connected to 120vAC (24vAC
optional) power, it displays the firmware version for 3 seconds and
then changes to 12:00 AM. A flashing LED in the lower right indicates
that it is listening to acquire its initial synchronization signal. When a
signal is received the LED will extinguish and the internal clock will be
set. Note: It may take up to several minutes for the clock to initially
synchronize. After initial reception, the LED will only flash when future
sync signals are received. The clock will continuously listen and correct
itself as needed.

each secured with two Phillips-head screws. Slide the front lens out of
the front track, then slide the circuit board and display out of the
second track in the enclosure. Carefully place each down on a smooth,
clean surface.
Time Formats
The ATDDC4 Series Wall Clocks can display either 12 Hour or 24 Hour
format. When in 12 Hour format, a red LED in the upper left corner of
the display indicates PM hours. When in 24 Hour format, the hours are
displays in Military style.

Mounting to a Wall
After deciding where to mount the clock, make two marks 12" apart
and horizontal. Note: If mounting near a ceiling, make sure the holes
are at least 2 1/4" away from the ceiling. Also, provide at least 16" of
side clearance on one side in order to remove the front panel.
Installation Steps
1. Drill a 5/16" hole at each mark
2. Insert a wall anchor and tap it flush to the wall with the hammer.
3. Insert a screw into each wall anchor leaving 1/4" exposed.
4. Line up the two keyholes on the back of the case and slip over the
two screws and tighten securely. ( The lower mounting holes can
be marked at this point, the case removed, holes drilled and wall
anchors installed if so desired)
Mounting to a Single Gang Box
Two mounting holes are located in the center of the case 2 1/4" apart
for mounting to a single gang wall box. A 7/8" hole is located between
the mounting holes that will accommodate conduit, if desired.
Note: If mounting near a ceiling, make sure the holes are at least 2-
1/4" away from the ceiling. Also, provide at least 16" of side clearance
on one side in order to remove the front panel.
Line the two holes in the case up to the single gang box and insert
proper screws for the single gang box and tighten securely.

Note: Make sure you have at least 16" of side clearance on one side in
order to remove the front panel assembly.
1. Place the two clock enclosures back to back and secure by inserting
a #10 screw through the four mounting holes using lock washers
and nuts supplied with the mounting kit.
2. Note: If the ATDDC4 clocks will be mounted too near a wall on one
side to secure the end caps, install the "wall side" end caps now.
3. Remove the center vent cap from the top of each ATDDC4 clock.
4. Line the two posts from the mounting plate up with the vent holes
of the ATDDC4 clocks. Insert the chase nipples through the vent
holes and secure to the mounting plate with a 15/16" wrench.

5. Slide the circuit board assemblies in partially and secure the
required wiring.
6. Slide the circuit board assemblies in fully, then slide the front
lenses into place. Note: the inside of the lens has a paper backing
which should not be removed. The end with wider paper should
go to the right. Replace the end caps and secure each with two
Phillips head screws.
7. Discard or store the two original end caps that the modified end
caps replaced.

Power Connection – Wall Mount
120vAC Electrical Supply can be brought into the ATDDC4 enclosure
from any of the six vent-hole positions, from the back, or from either
side. Conduit access is not available from the bottom.
Note: Optional plastic end-panels may be ordered (left VIS1551-L),
(right VIS1551-R) that have access holes pre-drilled for side access
.
Power Cord Installation
The optional AC Power Cord Kit (part# VSE0050) includes a 120vAC
Power Cord, metal fastener, 2 wire nuts and plastic strain relief that
can be installed through any of the available vent holes.
Strip away 1/2" of insulation from each wire of the power cord. Leave
eyelet on Ground Wire, if attached.
Remove the vent cap from the selected opening and insert the metal
fastener with the tabs toward the inside of the clock. Bend the tabs
down and away from the opening to secure it. Feed the cord through,
allowing sufficient length to attach the wires; including the ground.
Wrap the plastic strain relief around the cord close to the entry point,
squeeze it together and insert it into the metal fastener, to secure the
power cord to the enclosure.

Attaching Conduit
The Electrical Supply can be brought into the ATDDC4 enclosure from
any of the top three vent-hole positions, from the back, or from either
side. Conduit access is not available from the bottom.
Note: Optional plastic end-panels may be ordered (left VIS1551-L),
(right VIS1551-R) that have access holes pre-drilled to allow side
access.
If Conduit access is through either of the optional plastic end-
panels, Conduit should NOT be used to support the weight of the
Clock. The Clock must be properly secured to a wall.
Remove the vent cap from the selected mounting hole (if not accessing
through side panels). Attach the conduit with locking nut and extend
the wires into the enclosure.
Making the Connection
1. Slide the circuit board with display part-way back into the case.
Connect the two black wires from the circuit board to the power-
wires from the power cord or conduit using wire nuts. Connect the
Ground Wires from the circuit board and from the power source
(usually green) to the green ground screw on the inside of he
enclosure.
2. Slide the circuit board fully into place, then slide the front lens
into place. Note: the inside of the lens has a paper backing
which should not be removed. The end with wider paper should
go to the right. Replace the end caps and secure with the two
Phillips head screws.
3. When the clock is energized, it will set itself, upon receiving the
AirTime radio signal.

2. Secure the mounting plate securely to the gang box with the proper
screws. (not supplied)
Note: The long dimension of the mounting plate must be perpendicular
to the ground to assure proper alignment of wall clocks.
See remaining Wall
or Ceiling mount instructions below
Double-Mounting - Wall
1. Place the two clock enclosures back to back and secure by inserting
a #10 screw through the four mounting holes using lock washers
and nuts supplied with the mounting kit.
